Sports and fitness wear is worn during workouts, sports, or any physical exercise to provide the wearer comfort and style. T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and tracksuits are typical sport-specific apparel used while playing sports and doing other physical activities such as exercise. Sports and fitness apparel is designed to be lightweight and has thermal properties that allow the wearer to stay warm in cold conditions and vice versa. Modern-day sports apparel is made using advanced fabrics, which remove the wearer's perspiration away from the body to the outer surface of the apparel so that it can evaporate. Sports and fitness apparel is also available in various fashionable designs. The crossover between fashion and exercise has propelled the demand for sports apparel and fitness among women.
